Jazz for aficionados
@stuartk I try. I have many friends that go down the equipment rabbit hole and get lost. I thank my wife for keeping me grounded as we often listen together. I love Herbie Hancock as I remember seeing him, for the first time, during his 'Rockit' tour. Seen him plenty of times after. Last time was just him and Chick Corea with 2 pianos and that is it. It was an amazing experience, but many were not use to the amount of improvisation that went on between them. |
I’ve played guitar for 50 years (just to entertain myself -- I found out early on that gigging was not for me) so I don’t have to depend upon my system to have a deep connection with music. Nevertheless, I still enjoy good audio, just as I enjoy a good sounding guitar. I was very naive when I first jumped down the "rabbit hole" and it’s taken me quite awhile to appreciate just how much I don’t know about gear and acoustics. I’ve found "the journey" to be quite a roller-coaster and I admire anyone who can keep their balance. That Hancock/Corea show must’ve really been something! BTW -- my wife and I also enjoy listening together. She has no interest in hunting down music and has witnessed how OCD I can get when it comes to gear but she, like me, dearly loves music. |
